Michael Scannell—a personal site
There are apparently a few thousand Michael Scannells on the planet. This site is the work of the writer, songwriter and Web designer / developer Michael Scannell, who lives in Calpe, on Spain’s Costa Blanca.
This is me now
If you still want to be sure I'm the right one, have a look at some older photos.
On this website
Personal
A longish selective biography, some memories—and some memorials.
Writing
Some early journalism, some first chapters of projected novels, an intro to my one published novel, and an account of a play that I am working on.
Tips & Tools
One tip so far, and one tool remaining—a guaranteed spelling method.
Web solutions
Unusually, I am both a (graphic) designer and a developer—at home with the tools and coding languages of the Web. Here you can check what sort of work I do.

This website itself
⚡ A website should have a consistent look and feel, and this is something I aim for when designing sites for other people.
⚡ Here, however, I have allowed myself more leeway—both to show off my wares, and for the fun of experimenting.
This website first went online in 2005. For years, work on clients’ websites left me without time to work properly on my own sites. In April 2024, I finally updated the whole “Web Solutions” section.
And now it is all updated!
